Hey folks, MS and I were chatting last night about the upcoming HK Droid companion quest chainand apparently you will need a level 50 character of one faction and a mid level character on the other side on the same server.

If people are interested we can create an alt guild on the Republic side to aid in coordination.If you create an alt republic toon make sure to add my 2 to your friends list.

Greywulfe (low level Trooper)Raith'e (low level Smuggler)

Not sure when this will be added in, whether with the next patch or further down the line.

GarrickBlackSun: I understand he is a long way off, but could you please possibly give us any sort of clearer or better insight to the unlocking of HK-51?Daniel Erickson (Lead Game Designer): The only thing we’re saying today is its going to take a serious amount of work, involves a galaxy-wide mission, introduces some different ways of playing the game and most people will need to have a 50 of one faction and at least a mid-level character from the other faction. Get working on those Legacy characters!

Haven't made any republic characters just yet but I do plan on doing in the near future. I'll make sure to post my char name once I have. I've seen very little of the Republic side as I haven't played any since beta but was saying yesterday, I wouldn't mind making one for the HK companion. Possibly a trooper as my marauder would like the endurance class buff for pvp too, doing that would kill two birds with one stone so to speak. Rather than making a BH.

trooper was what i wanted to play (when they split sith to warrior and inq... a sith is both dammit) so i'll happily make me one. looks like we have a "shattered star republic trooper squad" on the go.

yep I tried this too earlier this morning too.Made my trooper and successfully mailed him a tiny bit of cash, the redeemable legacy gear and a few random crafting mats to see if they would mail too. That'll be handy.(3 class buffs ftw. Can't wait until my marauder has the +end one too lol)

Anyway my trooper is called "Nyanko". Wanted to use Madara but it was already taken.I'll probably just play him casually when I see no other guildies on our main side, or if a few of us are playing Rep chars together. I must admit, from the little bit I have played with him it has been a refreshing leveling experience. I did find myself rushing with my marauder when I leveled him as I could remember a lot of the quests (besides my class story) and areas. Still really enjoyed the class story for him (not as much as the agents) but not as much as redoing the sidequests.However since the Republic have different quests entirely, get to quest on a few other planets I haven't seen much of and they have different sections of the maps we've already played on too..quite looking forward to playing a Rep character on the side actually. (Anny - If you feel up to giving the population a go when you've finished your agent storyline you should think about rolling a rep alt over on ToFN too mate. Gets us a bit more play out of the game and see a different side to it without repeating the same quests again )

I'll probably take another break from TOR when I've capped my Agent, but if and when I come to roll a Republic alt I'll see how things lie at the time re: populations

My trooper has made it to the fleet now so can talk to the guild fella. Do you guys fancy making a little Rep alt guild for us this weekend then? Say Sun at 9 BST?. (I'd have said today (Sat) but it doesn't leave ya'll much notice so I'll say Sun instead)Should have the 4 needed to create a guild already (Ash, Eeks, Syn'n & myself) but if anyone else wants to tag along you're more than welcome to

Can always arrange for another day during the week or something if that's not a good day or time for anyone.

kk my agent can make some lvl 29 purple implants for when we're ready for em. Can't tooltip these particular imps but:

+23 Aim+34 Endurance+18 Presence+33 Power

There's a legacy perk in tomorrows update which increases crit-crafting chance so I may grab that and start crafting them tomorrow too. Don't suppose aug slots matter so much for these as we'll replace them before long but they're always nice to have heh.

Buried deep beneath the icy surface of Belsavis rests an army of the deadliest, most feared machines in the known galaxy. Thought to have been lost when an Imperial freighter was destroyed, they have recently been rediscovered by a group of renegade Sith Lords. Now both the Sith Empire and Galactic Republic seek to control these dangerous weapons for themselves. Those who are brave enough to venture into the wreckage will emerge with a powerful new ally.

We are excited to unveil the dangerous assassination droid HK-51! Cold, calculating, and ruthlessly efficient, HK-51 will stand by your side and loyally follow your command as you and your allies continue your journey. Journalists were given a brief preview of HK-51 at E3, but now we are happy to be able to show everyone at San Diego Comic-Con, and all of you at home, the full trailer.
